Chicago is well on its way to reaching historic lows in the area of homicide reductions for the first three months of 2013. For example, February and March of 2013 experienced a significant decrease in homicides compared to the same time period in 2012. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is very serious about protecting young people in the City of Chicago by organizing on a higher level with the corporate community, President Obama, and the community at large. Since the shooting death of Hadiya Pendleton and all of the national and international attention homicides have steadily declined. This is good news for all of the residents in Chicago, considering Chicago's history of being a very violent city. Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama visited Chicago to help motivate the Chicago corporate community along with Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
It is strange how the media covers all of the shootings and homicide stories but fail to provide the same coverage when homicides are down. If Chicago stays on the current pace there is a chance that Chicago will experience less than three hundred homicides this year.
If this keeps up the gun-rights fanatics will be deprived of one of their favorite false arguments.
What do you think? That's a good point about the media, isn't it? I guess that already removes one of the pro-gun false arguments right there, that the media is so biased against them.
